Description
"Why do I feel so guilty now?Red Meat is all over the ground.
I know they'd do the same to me,
I guess it's just time to feed."
-Benn: Red Meat [link]
Oswald, if you keep eating red meat like that you're gonna give yourself fucking salmonella.
So recently I've been on a real Amnesia-related high, and I've just been overly excited about their upcoming sequel, A Machine for Pigs. While I still have no idea how the game itself will be, I have high hopes and total confidence that Frictional and TheChineseRoom will pull it off
I got inspired to draw super-early fanart because of a fan-song. Huh. Anyway, it's a great song, and you should all check it out.
This is featuring headcanon!Oswald by the way, so if he doesn't look like this in the real game, my apologies.
I will be super disappointed if he does not have that mustache, however.
(PS If anyone feels offended by this because of the butt and the blood, just let me know and I'll happily put a mature content warning on it)

Yup! Thought I ought to change it, since my old one was starting to get on my nerves.
I might be changing this one soon enough too...
Thanks so much! This was the one I asked for your advice on. Thanks for your help, dude! Although I still had a rough time in some of those littler spots, IE His mustache...

That's a mustache? I thought it was his mouth opening up XD
My mistake ^^'
But yeah it's pretty cool and dark, I'm glad my advice helped you out dude!

There's a mouth AND a mustache... The mustache is the less noticeable black things falling off the side of his face

Oswald should have that mustache, bro for real. xD Anyways~~ I like it. I really do.
*totally at a loss for what else to say*
*insert shifty eyes*
*flees via rolling like a buffalo*

If Oswald doesn't have that mustache, I'm going to fling myself out of a window in despair.
Probably a first story window. Or maybe the one that we sit by in psych, since it leads straight to a roof.
But still.
I'll be out the window. Because classy Victorian industrialists always need a curly mustache. If Oswald doesn't have one, it will be a crime against humanity.
....
Stop rolling away from me ;3; I want to join in your buffalo-rolling
BUT THANK YOU!

That's so true, and I never realized you could rant so much about mustaches. xD
I will roll away from you~~ That's how I roll you know~ xD
You're very welcome.

ICFTW In reply to Nikrain [2013-03-26 07:46:17 +0000 UTC]
okay then...
1) the whole picture seems a bit blurry..I'm guessing you did this with pencil on paper. Teach your self to keep you hand a bit lifted.
2)the lighting is okay....but if you wanted it to look better, the light bulb could have been really bright, everything above the lamp would have had less lighting unless the blood on the ground reflected it ALOT (unlikely), more shading on Oswald's eyes could have been done, that way it could give a bit more of depressing/dark look. that kind of light gives of a shaped lighting path as so:[link] . (looking at refs help)
also keep in mind where the main source of the lighting is coming from...[link]
(lighting is very hard to learn)
3) outlines- don't make them thick...thin them with an eraser or draw them thin.
4)dat ass needs some work.......learning anatomy has helped me improve alot. IT looks like a guy by the curves of the body...so....HERE [link] refs don't bite.
5) blood. it tends to make a huge mess...[link] it gets smeared and splattered and all sorts of stuff...just...don't over do it. Or else it will look like some one had a bloodly orgasim all over the place...
that's all I can spot for now...T_T i'm going to bed...i didn't get any sleep due to dat ass.

1) I was afraid it looked that way e3e I actually worked with charcoal on this one for the first time ever, so trying to blend the values in such teeny spaces was a bit of a challenge (and one hella messy job!). I also had to take a photo of this picture instead of scanning it, because I didn't have any fixative for the charcoal, and I was afraid putting it on the scanner would smear everything D: I'll try to be neater next time.
2) Oh I knew the lighting wasn't fabulous. I'm terrible when it comes to making that look accurate. I tried to find refs of a spotlight-like thing, but couldn't find much that helped me. And yes, Oswald's eyes could have been darker, but I had a problem finding a happy medium, because either I smudged them and they looked gray (not like eyes at all), or they looked really undefined. Stupid charcoal was too fat for me to work with on such a small spot.
3)I'll keep that in mind. I typically like thicker outlines, but I might have overdone it with this one, simply because I was afraid of all my different shades of charcoal smudging together. UGH.
4) I totally suck at anatomy. I've known this forever. Dat ass was heavily referenced off of this concept art: [link] Although with the lighting in that one it was a bit hard to get all the details. Personally I think it's one of my better anatomy attempts.
5)I'll look into that for next time, but keep in mind, some of the red stuff on the ground isn't entirely blood, but lumps of churned up red meat. I should have made them a darker color to get the meat feel across, in retrospect.
But thanks so much for all your tips and suggestions! I'll have to challenge myself to get better at lighting and anatomy, definitely.

Unlike most of the 3,400 students in my school, all the art teachers say that I have lighting down (that means the awesome me is doing better than the advanced kids xD.) Lighting took me all of middle school to learn. Anatomy is extremely hard too. It's never ever going to be perfect. I just recently got done with female anatomy (yet it hasn't been posted) and to me...it was very easy, and now moving on to drawing balls and moobs.(meh.) If you ever need help...just ask.

Nice! If I have to copy something from a reference that is EXACTLY what I'm going for, lighting isn't typically a problem. When it comes to creating my own light source...eh.
And I plan on working with anatomy a lot more, probably as my new years resolution for 2014 (because my 2013 one involves me challenging myself artistically with all sorts of different exercises per month, but for some reason I didn't want to put anatomy on that list).
Good luck drawing balls
